1. An energy management system for a building, the system comprising:

  • a) a non-transparent roof exposed to at least partial sunlight;

    b) an interior space in the building positioned below the roof;

    c) an insulator barrier positioned between the interior space and the roof;

    the insulator barrier comprising a radiation reflective material, the insulator barrier being adapted to selectively reflect radiation back towards its originating source and selectively permit convective radiation to pass between the interior space and the roof, a first portion of the roof oriented to receive seasonal sunlight substantially comprising radiation reflective material and a second portion of the roof facing away from seasonal sunlight and remote from the first portion substantially comprising heat radiation absorptive material.
